Don't have pics yet, but my wife just picked up TF Prime Cliffjumper and Bumblebee. She's also out on the hunt for Soundwave, so fingers crossed. I'll see if I can take some pics later tonight.

Now he's 12 and more into video games than toys. I still keep it for nostalgia, though.

But that experience is the main reason I don't collect HW anymore. Between the insane amount of variations and the rabid obsession and ruthlessness of some of these hardcore HW collectors was just too much.

My brother-in-law also got out for similar reasons. Which is kind of funny, since he was the one who got me into collecting those two sets in the first place.

EDIT: Just realised you might have been asking about the '66 Batmobile and not the comic one. The TV version was first released in the 2007 FE and was #15 of 36.
